it just dawned on me...you can't give someone the finger if you are wearing mittens.. this may be of little importance to some of you in warm areas, but this bothers/intrigues me.
if i wanted to flip a bird while wearing mittens the person i am sending it to would just think i am angrily waving at them, and then the padded wagon of doom would come.. would more mittens in our society qwell road rage?.
i was also pondering skipping...i haven't had a good skip in ages!.
i think the world would undoubtedly be a much better place if adults ran and played like they did as children.
How about adult sized play grounds?
When was the last time you just ran and played or climbed a tree? Played without the focus of 'winning' or proving yourself better or more worthy, without having to 'improve' or succeed.
Play with no ambition.
What percentage of the angst and bittterness would leave us if we played again?

i would appreciate any input from residents of other nations for this homework assignment, as well as americans.. what do members of other nations really think about america, compared with what we percieve them as thinking?.
please help, assignment due tomorrow!.
Thanks so much you all, your opinions are very helpful, I'll keep checking the post throughout the evening and appreciate any additional input!
Thanks,

heres some scens from alaska... .
hope you enjoy them, though the pictures dont do the beauty of this state any justice at all.
these two, is where i spent most of my time, drinking at the bar on gm's mastercard account .
or do other chores?
any here archaic and expect the woman to do all of the work?
my mother taught me that women don't need our help, but we should give it anyway, to show our love.
My husband cooks, I do the dishes. We alternate on the laundry, he picks up around the house, I do the dusting and mopping.
Even when I do cook tho I do the dishes, not because he won't just cause he doesn't do em to my specs. . . his hands are too big to get in the glasses and he rinses with COLD water.
Frankly, unless I didn't work outside the house (or attend school full time) I would never do the work all by myself. Thats pretty shitty if you ask me. Call it slavery.

i would like to know some personal experiences with dabbling with hallucigenic drugs as far as seeing a deeper level of conciosness than the one given to you by the jws.
when i left the jws i was about 17 and my father was one of the main elders.
so i had to watch my p's and q's so i wouldnt make my father look bad.
Ho ho ha ha I thought you said LDS too! I thoght from bad to just as bad but hey at least they promote achievement!
Oh LSD, well I agree more than heartily with the oneness thing, it is perfectly obvious all around . . . with or without drugs, all yu gotta do is open your eyes (all three of them).

we are a non-jw family with 2 kids under 5 thinking about hiring a jw live in nanny.
she is in her 30's, active jw.
we all have talked about mutual respect for each others religions, and all agreed to a hands off policy.
This may sound way out there but,
Why don't yu judge her on her own merits?

To define an attractor is not simple. Tsonis gives the definition of attractors as "a limit set that collects trajectories".(1) A strange attractor is simply the pattern of the pathway, in visual form, produced by graphing the behavior of a system. Since many, if not most, nonlinear systems are unpredictable and yet patterned, it is called strange and since it tends to produce a fractal geometric shape, it is said to be attracted to that shape. A system confines a particular entity and its related objects or processes to an imaginary or real frame as the subject of study, this is its "state space" or phase space. The behavior in this state space tends to contract in certain areas, this contraction is called "the attractor". The attractor is actually "a set of points such that all trajectories nearby converge to it". Now tell me what an attractor is. You can't and neither can I, even with Tsonis's definition. Scientists, mathematicians, and computer specialists can show you pictures of how they operate, but they cannot tell you what they are. Maybe, that is why Daniel Stein, compares Chaos/Complexity to a "theological concept", because lots of people talk about it but no one knows what it really is.(2) (Found in the Preface to the first volume of lectures given at the 1988 Complex Systems Summer School for the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico)
